The example argues with itself and contradicts the Woobie entry.


* DesignatedHero: It's a little hard to muster up sympathy for someone who, until her mid-twenties, never had to work a day in her life and bases her identity on her material possessions. [[CharacterDevelopment She gets better, though.]]

Misuse. This trope is for famous scenes; not just any scene viewers agree to be good.


* SignatureScene: The final scene, with Neal and the little ballet girls performing the song Molly's father wrote for her when she was little, using his guitars while Ray dances. Even people who hate the movie have said that they found the scene at least a little touching.

** "Swinging door!"
** The part where Molly and her friend both use Huey's handkerchief to blow their noses. Huey's face says it all.
** The penultimate scene, in which Molly knocks over everything in the interviewer's office and awkwardly says they'll call each other.

* HeartwarmingInHindsight: Following Brittany Murphy's tragic death in 2009, Dakota Fanning (who was 15 at the time) said that she cherished the time they worked together on the movie and that she was grateful that she had the chance to work with Brittany. It makes the final scene all the more sweet looking back, especially the final line of the movie.

* JerkassWoobie: Ray starts out as a rude, uptight brat, but as the story develops, we find out that her father is in a catotonic state (on his deathbed), while her mother neglects her emotionally.


Added DiffLines:

* TheWoobie: Molly, considering that she lost practically everything in her life; first she loses her parents at a painfully young age, then she loses all of the wealth her parents left her, as well as everything that she was familiar and comfortable with all her life (and never gains it back).
